WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP?
Sin breaks our close relationship with God. It causes us to fear God and try to live our lives outside of His will.
“The wages of sin is death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
“God is on one side and all people are on the other side, and Christ Jesus is between them to bring them together, by giving His life for all mankind.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6 TLB
God has already done His part to restore our relationship to Him. He took the initiative. Now He waits for each of us to individually accept what He has done for us.
One of our primary purposes is to reach people far from God. In addition to that, we believe real life change happens in the context of authentic relationships, which is why we are a church made up of small groups. In the Bible, they worshiped in the temple, but personal ministry happened “house to house.”
“You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would
be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.” Acts 20:20
All of us were created by God to make a difference in the life of another person. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will never make sense until you find, develop and fulfill that purpose.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:10
“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, my aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.”
Acts 20:24
“Now God gives us many kinds of special abilities...There are different kinds of service to God [ministry]...All of you together are the one body of Christ, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-5, 27 LB
